Multirooted Bilateral Maxillary First Premolars - A Rare Anatomical Variation: Case Report
Journal Title: INTERNATIONAL JOURNAL OF SCIENTIFIC STUDY - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 8
Abstract
The success of endodontic therapy is mainly dependent on understanding the morphological anatomy of the tooth structure. Maxillary first premolars show a complex internal anatomy due to their variation in canal configuration and the number of roots. The bilateral presence of three roots in a maxillary first premolar is a rare occurrence. This case report describes the endodontic management of bilaterally three-rooted maxillary first premolars, with emphasis on the importance of radiographic interpretation and use of advanced endodontic armamentarium, including ultrasonic instruments, microdebrider, and micro-opener used under illumination and magnification provided by the dental operating microscope when handling these cases.
